autotrophs make there own food.
No they are not autotrophs. They are heterotrophic organisms
Autotrouphs or green plants
An organism that gets its energy from producers (plants/autotrouphs). It is the first heterrotophs on a food chain.
Autotrophs make their own food, so they take the energy from the sun light and transform it into food for itself. Examples: Almost all plants.
The kingdom that includes both autotrophs and heterotrophs is the Plantae kingdom. Autotrophs in this kingdom are represented by plants that produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs in the form of fungi are also included in this kingdom that rely on other organisms for nutrients.
Yes, an autotroph can create and sustain its own food supply by taking in carbon dioxide and putting out oxygen (cellular respiration) and drawing in water and nutrients from the soil and air around them, and most importantly the leaves need to have a source of sunlight in order to cause photosynthesis a process by which sunlight energy is converted into energy to which the plant can use the nutrients and water to create food for themselves.
